Biography
Graciano Garza was born in Seville, Spain, and became a captain in the Spanish Navy, commanding the brig "San Blas" during the Napoleonic Wars. In the Battle of Ria de Ortigueria in late November 1805, the British captured "San Blas" and sunk many Spanish ships of Sergio Pizzaro's fleet, but in the pursuit of the Spanish fleet, Captain Colin Brent was killed. Garza, now the captain of "San Blas" under the British flag, became the new leader of the fleet, leading it until he met up with Admiral Horatio Nelson's fleet in the Mediterranean.
